Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study A-Levels at Thomas Paine Sixth Form. Can a tutor help them secure the necessary GCSE English grade?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in GCSE English Language and Literature and are experienced in helping students secure the grades needed for their sixth form choices. They can focus on specific exam board requirements to help your child feel confident and prepared.
We're thinking ahead to university, maybe to the University of East Anglia. How can English tutoring help now?
A strong English GCSE is a key requirement for most university courses. Tutoring builds foundational skills in analysis, communication, and critical thinking that are vital for A-Levels and for writing a compelling personal statement for universities like UEA.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
Finding the right personality match is so important. We have a First Lesson Guarantee, so if it's not the right fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have experts in all core subjects, we also have brilliant tutors who can teach skills like coding, learning the guitar, a new language, or even public speaking. There's a tutor for almost any interest.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. Many tutors also offer a free 15-minute chat, which is a great way for you and your child to see if it's a good fit before booking a lesson.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience. You can easily filter by price on our search page to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
My child's confidence in English is very low. How can a tutor help?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. In a safe, supportive space, your child can ask questions they might be afraid to ask in class. Tutors celebrate small wins and build them up, which can make a huge difference to their confidence.
How do you check your tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every UK-based tutor undergoes a background check. We also verify their ID and interview them to ensure they have the right expertise and a passion for teaching. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs: video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's a simple and effective way to learn from the comfort of home, without the hassle of travel.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most students have one hour-long lesson per week, but it's completely flexible. You can discuss what's best for your child's goals and your family's schedule with your chosen tutor.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message them directly through the platform. Many parents say they see a positive change not just in grades, but in their child's attitude towards learning.
My child is quite shy. Will online tutoring work for them?
Many parents find online tutoring is perfect for shy children. The one-to-one setting can feel less intimidating than a busy classroom, giving them the space to open up, ask questions, and build a strong rapport with their tutor.
